TruMet (PW100)
Advanced Optical Rainfall Measurement with Minimal Maintenance
The TruMet PW100 Infrared Optical Rain Gauge is a solid-state precipitation sensor designed to provide accurate and reliable measurement of liquid rainfall without the moving parts found in traditional tipping-bucket gauges. Its optical sensing technology eliminates common issues such as mechanical wear, blockages, and calibration drift, making it well suited for long-term unattended monitoring.
